The Story

Les Paul Special Doublecut Cherry 1960

All original and so, so much fun to play! This is a 1960 Gibson Les Paul Special Doublecut, with two soapbar P-90s, a bound rosewood board and a wraparound tailpiece - all you need to really have a good time. This guitar has a medium amount of players wear to the body and some to the back of the neck. There are no breaks, and the electronics are all original. A later-era Gibson hardshell case is included. The strap locks have changed to Schallers (with the originals included), and there is some cracking to the neck volume knob. The frets are low but in great playing condition. The A-string tuner slips a bit, but catches the string enough to hold tuning. The neck is as perfect a '60s-Slim as they come.

Includes: Non-Original Gibson Hardshell Case and Original Schaller Strap Buttons
